TOTD – Jonny L – This Time

Jonny L’s deal with XL Recordings in the early 90’s was a big deal for jungle. They were, and still are, a major player in the dance music community and helped push his releases to the world. While maybe not as commercially successful as Jonny’s other work like 2 Of Us, Piper, or Magnetic, the This Time EP is just as good. The title track is a sauntering, buttery smooth jungle tilt featuring a lovely (uncredited) female vocal telling you, “it’s time to break free,” interspersed with hip-hop “aww yeahs.” If you’ve never heard it before then put your headphones on, crank it up, and press play.
